Founder's Associate

JumpOff is an AI advisory and transformation firm. We take enterprises, financial sponsors, and lower-middle-market operators from AI ambition to realized business outcomes through strategy, delivery, and workforce training. Our clients are the leaders carrying an AI mandate: transformation, operations, L&D, and portfolio-operations executives who need adoption to hold after the program ends.We are hiring a Founder's Associate. You would work alongside the founder with no fixed remit, taking on whatever most needs an owner. In practice that means sitting in on client and partner conversations, turning what comes out of them into work that gets done, and building the systems the firm runs on.A meaningful share of the role is client-facing. The scope rotates. In a given month you might be shaping a proposal, co-facilitating a workshop, redesigning how delivery gets scheduled, and handling something well below your level, because at this stage someone has to.What you would doWork at the founder's side across client, partner, and firm-building work, with priorities that shift month to monthTurn conversations into execution: proposals, follow-ups, client deliverables, and the commitments that come out of a meetingBuild and run the internal systems the firm operates onCoordinate delivery across engagements: staffing, scheduling, and qualityCo-facilitate AI enablement workshops for enterprise and portfolio-company audiencesRun recurring support sessions for client teams applying AI to their real work, and prepare the materials behind themSupport advisory engagements, including process mapping and AI workflow redesignWhy this roleSit at the founder's side on pricing, positioning, and go-to-market, not three levels down a workstreamOperate at the leading edge of enterprise AI adoption across many industries, functions, and company sizes at onceBecome a certified AI practitioner inside of frontier AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft CopilotOwn outcomes end to endCompress years of exposure to AI transformation into months by working across many clientsRequirements3+ years somewhere that demanded rigor and client-ready output: consulting, private equity, investment banking, corporate strategy or transformation, a startup operating or chief-of-staff seat, or military leadershipStrong written communicationComfort in front of senior audiences, client-facing or internalDaily user of mainstream AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or equivalent), with a clear point of view on where they create value and where they fall short todayHabit of staying current on the AI tooling landscape: new models, features, agentic workflows, and enterprise rolloutsJudgment about what deserves your attention when four things are urgent and one of them mattersDiscretion.
